Crooked Houses
Did you watch Jon & Kate Plus Eight last night? To be honest, I was more intrigued by the construction of the kids’ new playhouses than the deconstruction of the Gosselin marriage. I love the concept of letting kids design their own little house. In case you are wondering, a custom Crooked House like those built for the Gosselin kids costs upwards of $5000. Ba! The company was established by two handy and brilliant dads. Take a look at the website for more info. |

Vitamin D (in just one drop!)
Health Canada recommends that healthy breastfed infants receive a Vitamin D supplement. Most moms, including myself, use D-V-Sol Vitamin D drops. Many babies don’t mind the drops at all but mine had a difficult time tolerating the amount and taste. When my daughter was born, I found Ddrops (The Sunshine Vitamin in Just One Drop!) in the health section of my local Shoppers Drugmart. This product is great because it is more concentrated and offers the proper daily dose (400 IU) in just ONE drop and it tastes like water. I showed it to my pediatrician and he said that it’s just as good as the other brands. Ddrops also come in an adult dose of 1000 IU so make sure to get the right dose for your baby. |
This Weekend: A Festival @ The Shops at Donmills
Anthropologie opened its doors in Toronto and at that moment I felt complete. But that’s not the only reason I love The Shops at Donmills. If you haven’t been to this new & classy outdoor mall, you are truly missing something! One hundred retail stores and services, great restaurants, outdoor patios, and a grassy area for the kids to let loose. This weekend (June 26th-28th) come enjoy The Festival in the Square with your family. Featuring live music, buskers and special guests. Located at the corner of Donmills Road and Lawrence Ave. East. (and btw, they have great family bathrooms).

The Right Space Between Siblings?
Three years between siblings used to be pretty standard. Does anybody else feel like 18 months is the new 3 years? With ‘two under two’, I often wondered about the best spacing between kids. Parenting.com recently featured a great article about all that is good and all that is less with ‘two under two’, ‘three years apart’ and ‘more than four’. A great read despite the fact that life rarely lets you stick to a plan.
